The Loop off! A 2April event powered by YYBC

Nice! Looking forward to seeing more of your loop vids! :grinning:

Just curious, Have you looped with a Duncan Imperial? I thought my Yomega Raider was my best looper but I’m locking into the loops with this Imperial!

I tried doing some two handed loops today. Epic fail. I’ll have to post a video, It’s pretty comical. :joy:

Just a reminder about 1 day left to knock out some loops in the loop off. If you were planning to go hard and do an absurd number of loops this is your time to do so. :slight_smile:

Right now loop off is at 110 consecutive loops with @TryCatchThrow

@TryCatchThrow Got 120 for ya!

Fingers started hurting…Had to tape em up. :rofl:

I salute you! I can’t film more today (I think). I can bust out the Imperial to finish this fixie.

Oh Buddy! Less than 12 hrs till the deadline…had to go all in on this one. Got 314!

(sped up 2x)

Edit. Less than 24hrs*

I did manage to find a little time.

This is 360 by my count.

I had just dropped a run of 200ish on my dominant hand and was tired so this was non-dominant. Yo-yo is an Imperial.

It’s sped up 2x.

I’m training for a sprint triathalon, and never mind all of that, this was a test of endurance.

@Joe77 my hat’s off to you.

@TryCatchThrow with your non-dominant hand! :exploding_head:
Yea! it is definitely is a workout!

:smiley:

EDIT: after re-counting it is 429

(sped up 2x)

Arms tired. Gonna give it a rest but might give it another go later tonight or tomorrow morning. Even though I’m alternating loops the tension is getting super loose. Thinking I might have to add some more outside loops. :thinking:

Yo awesome. My good hand I can hit 100ish before carpal tunnel starts flaring. I might have to leave this fight between yall

Do you need to catch the yoyo to make it count? Or is it …If the yoyo dies then the last loop on that hand is the final count?

I once looped so much that the yoyo fell off because the string had no twists.

I’m gonna go with just loops as it’s a loop off for this one which is a who can loop most before time ends sort of event.

There is a different thread with the main event and other tricks count for that.

If the yoyo flies off I’ll count it at the last loop done lol. Honestly not being super picky and now that we are in the 400s I’m counting on some level of honesty as I’m not counting every video just the last few of the event at this point.

I have been going with catch the YoYo but I’m not really that picky to be honest. If you nail 600 loops consecutive I’m not gonna disqualify you for not catching the last one you know.

Even though I’m alternating loops the tension is getting super loose. Thinking I might have to add some more outside loops. :thinking:

I think I heard from somewhere that the proper ratio is actually 3 outside loops for every inside loop. The idea being that the yoyo flips in the same direction for both inside and outside loops so:
For inside loops a half twist for the flip plus a full twist from the circle that the yoyo travels in = 1.5 twists
For outside loops a half twist for the flip minus a full twist from the outside circle that the yoyo travels in = -0.5 twists
So three outside loops will balance an inside loop. Or I could be completely misremembering lol

Anyway here’s my submission. Offhand donked my bedpost halfway through so it was out of commision.
I counted 448 left hand, 827 right hand, 1275 total.

Uuuhhh, yeahhh…. I was going to try and jump in here last minute and try to steal the competition but uhhh….

I don’t think I’m going to beat 1200+. I had a chance earlier. Not now :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Nice one, dude!

I was planning to concede after 429. I’m definitely conceding after 1200.

Awesome loop off everyone!
